Abstract

A vehicular window regulator that decreases an inclination of a glass centering on a thickness direction of the glass and an inclination restraining mechanism are provided. The window regulator includes a member secured to a glass, traction member guides. At least one of the traction member guides are each disposed above and below the member, across the member. The inclination restraining mechanism is wound across the respective traction member guides, and includes a traction member having one end portion installed at the member from above, and further having another end portion installed at the member from below. An installation position to the member, of the one end portion of the traction member and an installation position to the member, of the other end portion of the traction member are offset in a horizontal direction, viewing from a thickness direction of the glass.

Claims (36)

1. A vehicular window regulator comprising:

a raising/lowering mechanism that includes a driving portion that generates driving force that lowers and raises a glass, and lowers and raises the glass in a vertical direction; and

an inclination restraining mechanism that is driven by raising/lowering operation of the raising/lowering mechanism, and restrains rotation of the glass centering on a thickness direction of the glass, wherein

the raising/lowering mechanism includes:

one guide rail disposed along the vertical direction;

a slider movably engaged with the guide rail, and to which the glass is secured;

a wire guide disposed at at least one of an upper portion of the guide rail and a lower portion of the guide rail;

a wire that includes a part wound on the wire guide to be installed at the slider, and further pulls the slider along the guide rail; and

the driving portion that includes a drum on which the wire is wound to rotate the drum to pull out and draw in the wire,

the inclination restraining mechanism includes:

a first member that is secured to the glass;

traction member guides disposed at a door panel or a door panel member that is disposed at the door panel, and at least one of the traction member guides each being disposed above and below the first member, across the first member; and

a traction member that is wound across the traction member guides, has one end portion installed from above at the first member, and further has another end portion installed from below at the first member, and

an installation position to the first member at the one end portion of the traction member and an installation position to the first member at the other end portion of the traction member are offset in a horizontal direction, viewing from the thickness direction of the glass.

2. The vehicular window regulator according to claim 1 , wherein

in the traction member of the inclination restraining mechanism,

a part installed at the first member from the traction member guide disposed at an upper side of the door panel or the door panel member, and

a part installed at the first member from the traction member guide disposed at a lower side of the door panel or the door panel member

are parallel routed, viewing from the thickness direction of the glass.

3. The vehicular window regulator according to claim 1 , wherein

across the installation position of the wire to the slider of the raising/lowering mechanism,

the one end portion of the traction member is installed at one side, and

the other end portion of the traction member is installed at an other side.

4. A vehicular window regulator comprising:

a raising/lowering mechanism that includes a driving portion that generates driving force that lowers and raises a glass, and lowers and raises the glass in a vertical direction; and

an inclination restraining mechanism that is driven by raising/lowering operation of the raising/lowering mechanism, and restrains rotation of the glass centering on a thickness direction of the glass, wherein

the inclination restraining mechanism includes:

a first member that is secured to the glass;

traction member guides disposed at a door panel or a door panel member that is disposed at the door panel, and at least one of the traction member guides each being disposed above and below the first member, across the first member; and

a traction member that is wound across the traction member guides, has one end portion installed from above via the first member, and further has another end portion installed from below via the first member, and

an installation position to the first member at the one end portion of the traction member and an installation position to the first member at the other end portion of the traction member are offset in a horizontal direction, viewing from the thickness direction of the glass.

5. An inclination restraining mechanism that is driven by raising/lowering operation of a raising/lowering mechanism that includes a driving portion that generates driving force that lowers and raises a glass, the raising/lowering mechanism lowering and raising the glass in a vertical direction, the inclination restraining mechanism restraining rotation of the glass centering on a thickness direction of the glass, the inclination restraining mechanism comprising:

a first member that is secured to the glass;

traction member guides disposed at a door panel or a door panel member that is disposed at the door panel, and at least one of the traction member guides each being disposed above and below the first member, across the first member; and

a traction member that is wound across the traction member guides, has one end portion installed from above via the first member, and further has another end portion installed from below via the first member, wherein

an installation position to the first member at the one end portion of the traction member and an installation position to the first member at the other end portion of the traction member are offset in a horizontal direction, viewing from the thickness direction of the glass.
